Are ICO's Dead?

[fakegurutu]

NOPE

I say - they are ALIVE!

Yeah you hear me right!

They are ALIVE because they can no longer sleep on one ear knowing funds will come in regardless

They are ALIVE because they focus on building the technology

They are ALIVE because the market requires this

We are going through a maturing phase - the strong will survive and they will deliver.

No one will remember the ones who quit - no matter how strong they presented themselves to be

People will remember the ones who stayed and delivered.

ico is still alive but not so effective anymore, investors arent willing enough to invest in any ico that were launch although some will still do. ICO has been so slow right now because ethereum has falls down so far, most ico depends on ethereum blockchain technology.

No ICO who lived at this time. everything is dying and even many who already give bad results. a handful of ICO does look pretty good but still be able to produce in a prolonged period of time and will not ride for a moment. so I think even when encountered ICO looks pretty good from all sides, then isn't a guarantee it will explode when they arrive at the Exchange.

[pleci]

So in my opinion, the conclusion of ICO is not death but it continues to grow with new, better projects to replace fraudulent projects. Means the word death according to me is true because many ICO fail, fraud and so on that affect the stability of market prices. whatever your opinion is the right of an investor and we need to know that no one can be blamed entirely because we are here ready to take great risks with the unstable nature of Crypto.

[Little Mouse]

I think Ico are dead. Most of the true projects do not get enough fund for their project. Because investors are in fear that they may scam money. I have seen some couple of Ico to be funded fully in last couple of months.

[EdenHazard]

Still alive, but not profitable anymore. Maybe what will change to profit again is time, everyone thinks the decline that occurred in ICO is from the cryptocurrency price continues to decline.

Many people still doubt cryptocurrency so that every investor only saves their money rather than having a big risk. In other hand, without a regulation and supervision from several parties the ICO will continue to be filled with fraud. Every investor will lose a lot because they don't need a hard effort to deceive him, and this is the biggest risk when investing in an ICO.

Personally, I won't invest in any ICO. I believe ICO's are no longer a source of lucrative investment. Majority of projects which conducted ICO, ended up listing far below the price of their tokens during ICO. It makes me believe that ICO is actually dead. I don't believe when I read of project meeting their soft cap and hard cap in less than 5 minutes. I see that as an indication of a scam project. The Cryptocurrency industry is so risky that I see every project as a scam until proven otherwise.

[kiwoh123]

dead? of course not, too many ico are less attractive and now every investor is more selective in investing in the ICO.
I would bet when the price of bitcoin returns to around $ 7000 + there will be lots of good ICO .

[Royal Jelly]

It seems that the ICO is down for a moment and like the market is going up and down, so this makes investors less interested and happy to trade the day. ELROND itself is also less effective in its journey, so it's alive but it's still slow and it's difficult to get investors because of poor conditions.

[Sephire]

ICOs are only down and weak in price but otherwise there are plenty of ICOs in the market. However, many are not able to raise their hard caps in this market.

[KKH84]

There are a number of projects that are still running ICO, despite the poor market conditions and declining investor levels, I think they should be rewarded for fighting the storm with bad possibilities and I believe with good ideas, they will be able to pass it.

[akeda]

Ico is not dead and I believe that until now there are still many ico that are still running and still have good potential, good ico, one of whom has a clear goal, in the future it can be useful for all and the team involved must be fully responsible and competent, if you want to invest in ico you should be able to choose a good ico so that the results will be maximal in the future and do not get a misstep so you will only get a loss

[Mr.grin]

ICOs are only down and weak in price but otherwise there are plenty of ICOs in the market. However, many are not able to raise their hard caps in this market.

for now, ICO cannot be compared with the ICO in 2017. But, I think, for the beginning of this year, there are so many projects that have enough potential to develop. well, I only hope that the ICO, which is currently back, will bring the crypto world even better this year.

[Bitbtc8]

In the future I hope we will see some kind of security process that will start banning ICOs that have nothing to offer ,they are making cryptocurrency looks bad ,its making me feel like cryptocurrency have no use at all ,I hop ICOs will get banned someday its the surest way to lose funds and 80% of newbies that lost money are through ICOs

[kipoel]

Even though there are so many scam ICO, but i'm sure many people still have their trust on some ICO, thus making the ICO will still available in cryptocurrency world. But for investors or just a bounty participant, everyone need to get so much aware that there are people who create many scam project to stole the investors money.

[sekop]

ICO is indeed alive and not yet fully dead, but the ICO has declined drastically due to many things. Although ICO is said to be a scam today, there are still many ICOs that are running and seem to struggle to remain strong and attract many investors.

You are right, ICOs are still alive and are launching more new projects every day. It is just that the market has declined a lot since the beginning of 2018, making investment less and less than before

[Mikhail.YT]

Not so easy anymore to scam people through ICOs. People are now more skeptic on every project that comes out.

[ansarose1]

We have a different point of views here in bitcointalk, however as the majority thinks its that the several of the ico's are dead since they cannot accomodate well their bounty hunters and investors, and for some instances many of the bounty hunters dont get their rewards.

[reynald70]

Currently ICO still exists, but not like last 2017, so now the ICO is not as popular as last year, because currently the price of Bitcoin is declining, so it has a bad impact on ICO projects, hopefully ICO will always be there forever, because with this project I can participate in the Bounty campaign.

If you didn´t promote your project here, it will be a good post  . We need to be positive and after we all be positive, there will be positive market sentiment and after that bull run may start. So stop being negative!
